Well, it’s the end of January and boy to we need a pick-me-up. Chocolate seems like it just might do the trick!

The 9th annual Vancouver Hot Chocolate Festival is here to help us feel a little warmer, a little cozier, and a little more chocolaty. The festival runs from January 19 to February 14.

The good news is, if you are lactose-intolerant or vegan, there are tons and tons of great options for you to indulge in.

“Altered Soul” from Koko Monk

For sure your best bet if you want to be dairy-free is to hit up Koko Monk. This is where they have the best selection, and some of the most interesting and creative hot chocolates in the city. The owner, Paul, is a mad genius, pairing thing together that seem like they shouldn’t work, but then they totally do. The bonus? Each hot chocolate comes with a delicious, homemade vegan chocolate. Win! They have a new location on Broadway, and they are serving up different drinks at both locations.

Cartem’s will always be number one in my heart when it comes to donuts, and they are always very vegan-friendly. Their vegan hot chocolate entry comes paired with a vegan donut, so you cannot lose.

I’m interested in the Mink Chocolates option, as well. It’s a boozy version made with vegan Baileys.

Uno Gelato‘s entry is raw, and comes with a scoop of ice cream.

Here’s the list of all the vegan entries in this year’s Hot Chocolate Festival. Please refer to the website for more details, as not all of the locations offer all of the hot chocolates all the time.

Comment below and tell me which one is your fave!
